Overland Park, KS, An Afternoon in May [Friday Fandom Time]

Big surprise, Kate had run away from Fandom to Overland Park again. It was starting to become a thing with her, but she didn't care, sometimes it was good to be elsewherer. She'd been here since Wednesday night – or, they had, since Bod had come along with her, but right now he was on his class-and-diner trip back to Fandom. Or getting takeout, if you looked at it from the official OP standpoint that was oblivious to portals.

And Kate? Kate was glueing lace and fake gems and sequins to headbands, because Charmaine had decided that was going to be her new business. Making tiaras and selling them on Etsy. Generally, Kate might have mocked the idea (even if she was pretty sure it came from when she'd shown off her own prom queen tiara) but right now it was just kind of nice to be working with her hands.

And when she watched Charmaine and her big belly out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help thinking a little about Alice. Not that she got very far with those thoughts, because Char was in a chatty mood. "-- and I don't want you turning this place into a den of sin," she was saying. "With your James Bund of a gentleman caller."

Kate snorted. "What?"

"Well, you know," Charmaine said, with what Kate assumed to be her best trying-to-be-an-adult voice. "There's going to be a baby in the house in a few months. I don't want you corrupting her."

"The baby you got pregnant with while dating someone who wasn't the father?" Kate checked with an eyebrow raise. "Tell me you're joking."

Charmaine deflated. "Okay so I don't really give a rat's ass what you two get up to as long as it's in your room, I was just trying to be, y'know, assertive and and authoritative and motherly. How'd I do?"

Kate just snorted again and shook her head.

"I didn't mean for it to be that," he said and snuggled up behind her, draping an arm around her waist. "When you first started all of it, you seemed to really be enjoying yourself with the music video and all."

"You are a star," Bod assured her, sighing and wrapping himself around her. "You're an amazing, bright star."

"For awhile, you were a star to others too," Bod assured her, sighing and closing his eyes. "But, selfishly, I like when you're just a star to me too."

"Yes, that's me," he said quietly, smiling. "And I don't plan on changing where you're concerned so you'd better get used to it."

"About this particular thing?" He nodded against her shoulder. "Yes, I am the boss and you're not going to take that away from me. Not this time."

"For as long as I like."

He smiled and gave her a squeeze.

"Good. That's what's going to happen then. I'm going to keep being selfish. Yes."

"I'm planning on it," he promised, getting more comfortable himself. See, he'd just made plans. And these plans might have been his best yet.
